if he was to beat them both in impressive style I think the money he would be getting offered for follow up fights would be very hard for him to resist. If he beat wlad on HBO then squared off against vitali it could even be PPV in the states. And I actually think there are a few fighters just starting to emerge who in a year or two could be decent contenders ... Helenius/Perez/Fury or Chrisora and of course there is always Adamek - Haye v Adamek would be a cracker. So yeah IF he beat both of them and IF he stayed around, the heavyweight divison imo would get a real shot in the arm ... but unfortunately they are two pretty big ifs

Beating Wladimir and then retiring would make no sense at all considering the money he could make and the recognition he could gain by fighting and beating Vitali. Obviously Vitali is fighting in September but he has been fighting quite regularly since returning so I don't see why Haye couldn't stick around until December/January.

I agree. It would take a very brave man to turn the millions that would be on offer from every promoter under the sun should Haye pull off some wins.
Would the Klits retire though? I think Vitali might if he was beaten. But Vladimir is younger and is still light years better than anyone in the division.

If Haye wins and retires then i would hope some up and coming heavyweight prospects would see that the K Bros aren't unbeatable and hopefully gain some additional motivation to win the titles.
